Compact Air Cooler

Does it Work?

The IG9703 unit is an air cooler and not an air conditioning unit. This difference is key. The unit uses a refillable water tank to gently spray a light mist of water into the air which makes everything cooler. You can put ice cubes into the water tank to make the water as cold as possible. It holds 6 litres of water which is sufficient for many hours of use. It’s also possible to run the unit just in fan mode.

When you run it in the air cooling mode which produces more air humidity, it is recommended to open a door or window so that the water vapour in the air can escape.

Noise & Running Costs

Some customers report that they think it’s quite noisy, however many others state that it is fine and can sleep with no problem at all with it on. My personal opinion is that you just need to get used to it. Anything unusual in the room may keep you awake so one option is to run it for a few hours before you go to bed to get the room down to an acceptable temperature which will make it easier to get to sleep.

Running this Igenix IG9703 unit will cost approximately 0.8 pence per hour…Almost nothing! That’s calculated using the UK average energy price of 15 pence per KW/h. The calculation is:

((Watts * Hours of use) / 1000) * Cost per Kilowatt per hour

((55 * 1) / 1000) * 15 = 0.8 pence per hour
